PBIS Party – Electronics – Thursday Feb. 16

If your child had five or less card flips in the months of December, January and February, then he/she will be able to attend our next PBIS party.  It will be an electronics themed party and will take place on the afternoon of Thursday, February 16th.  Students may bring handheld electronic gaming devices from home for our special celebration.  I will lock up all electronics until the party time.  If you’d rather not send in an electronic, students may use our school chromebooks and have free time on kid appropriate websites.  Please return the permission slip on our electronics policy by Tuesday, February 14th, if you will be sending in an electronic device from home.

Thank you!

Good Morning!

Good Morning Families,

I want to thank all who were able to make it to Family Science Night last Thursday!  It was a huge success.  The students REALLY enjoyed the science magician!  If you were unable to make it, I hung our boards in the hallway leading up to our classroom.  Come stop in anytime! 🙂

Some students have a few more problems to finish up on the NWEA math test today.  Scores should be viewable and printable by me tomorrow.  I should be able to send home your child’s scores then.  So far, the students are doing GREAT and showing a lot of growth!

Thank you for your support at home.
